Ingredients

  • 2 filets, approximately ¾” thick

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • ½ lb. asparagus

  • 2 baking potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • ¼ cup whole milk

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Compound Butter:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives

  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. 1

    To make the compound butter, combined the softened butter with the chives and salt. Roll in a sheet of plastic wrap to form a roll and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Peel and dice the potatoes. Add to a large pot of salted boiling water and cook on medium high until fork tender. Drain and mash with the butter, milk and cream.

  3. 3

    Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

  4. 4

    Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to a cast iron pan and heat on medium high heat. Season the filets with salt and pepper on both sides and add to the pan. Sear for about 5 minutes on each side and place in the oven. Cook to your desired doneness. Medium will take about 5 minutes but, for the most precise cooking, use a probe thermometer.
    For medium rare – 130 to 135 degrees
    For medium – 135 to 145 degrees
    For medium well – 145 to 155 degrees

  5. 5

    Remove the pan from the oven and let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to a pan, trim the asparagus and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Slice the compound butter and serve on top of the hot steaks. Pairs perfectly with a Chardonnay, or Cabernet Sauvignon wine.
